On Friday 18th December myself and Nicole from Leadbitter accompanied Father Christmas to Cwrt Rawlin Primary School which is practically opposite our development at Castlegate. We both slipped in to our Elf Costumes are were raring to go. 'What a lovely way to spend the day' I thought to myself. I even informed Tony that I couldn't believe I was getting paid to have such a fun day. Big Mistake!! The school has children from the ages of 3 years up to 11 years....and us elves along with Father Christmas spoke to every single one of them in turn. The younger children were totally speechless when we walked in to their classes but some of the older ones were, well a bit more lippy !! Apart from the usual requests such as PS3, X-Box, Bikes and DSi's one boy turned around and told santa that he wanted a wife!!! My gosh he was like 10!! (He'll soon wise up).A lovely festive day was had by all but it really was hard work, by the time we left just before 3pm my ears were ringing and my head was banging!! But you know what - I'd do it all again next year just to see the smile on some of those kids faces!!
